Should You Shift to Neutral at Red Lights in an Automatic Transmission Car?

1 Answers

It's best not to. For automatic transmission cars waiting at red lights, you can use P (Park), D (Drive), or N (Neutral) gear. Explanation of some gears: 1. P gear: P is the parking gear, which can be engaged directly without stepping on the brake or pulling the handbrake. However, since P gear must pass through R (Reverse) gear, it causes some impact on the transmission and is generally not recommended. 2. D gear: If the stop is very brief, this is fine, but it's best not to use D gear for prolonged stops. 3. N gear: When the gear lever is in "N" gear, the power connection between the engine and transmission is cut off. This is suitable for short stops like waiting at red lights. To prevent the vehicle from rolling on slopes, it's recommended to step on the brake or pull the parking brake lever.

How to adjust the trunk tension of a Civic?

First, open the car trunk. At the corner of the trunk, use your hand to peel open the rubber strip, then remove the interior trim panel to reveal the position of the tension spring. The tension setting of a new car is usually at the first normal gear. If the opening and closing force of the trunk lid is insufficient, you can adjust the tension to the second or third gear according to your needs. If the trunk hydraulic strut lacks tension, take it to a car repair shop for servicing. The hydraulic strut must not be disassembled, as doing so may cause harm to the body and lead to pollution.
